“So you mad or naw?” That is why Twitter’s reaction has been to actress/singer, Raven-Symone. Apparently Raven is once again on everyone’s bad side after she shaded Jay-Z, Diddy, T.I., and other notable rappers in a photo from their appearance at the Rocc Nation Brunch last week.

“A group of so-called ‘successful’ Black men (minus Khalid [sic] racially) who became rich and famous from perpetuating the worst Black stereotypes to the ears and eyes of the whole planet like drug dealing, pimping, murdering other Black men and disrespecting Black women. I know, making observations is being a hater. Cheers.”

Raven captioned the photo with a set of emojis—the monocle, the mouthless face, and a yellow heart—that suggested she agreed with the sentiment.

She later deleted her post, but then posted a note stating she stands by everything she said:

Honestly, we did not see anything wrong with the gathering of Black artists, actors, moguls, and media at the Rocc Nation Brunch. To us it is a clear example of nation building and uplifting one another. We are not sure what has gotten Raven-Symone in such a tizzy again, but we need her to focus on her show, Raven’s Home–AND THAT’S IT!

It has been awhile since we did a male Celebrity Crush, and yes, we got your requests (LOL)! We decided to go the rapper route this time around and we are pleased with our decision to highlight the ultra sexy, Dave East! Dave is hard with his rhymes and tattoos and even easier on the eyes. As a true wordsmith he is quickly rising up the ranks of the rap world to become one of its elites!

As a true wordsmith he is quickly rising up the ranks of the rap world to become one of its elites!

Dave East first came on our radar on CBS’s now cancelled series, Elementary, in 2012, and then reacquainted ourselves with him on The Breaks in 2017. Dave has proven himself to be a talented actor time and again, so much so we were not aware of his rap skills until later. His mix tapes, Paranoia 2 and Karma 2 stay on repeat in our Apple Music.

Now, back to how sexy he is. The magnificent specimen of a man is inked from head to toe and we love every needle stroke that made him that way. Then there’s that very sexy body of his. He gives us the same feels as The Game, minus the inclination he might beat us. Dave just has the type of swag most guys hope for, but seldom acquire. Also, did we mention he is 6’5″? Yes tall, inked, handsome and DIVINE!

Clearly Mr. East has a lot going for himself and we are just enjoying watching him rise. Dave is just amazing on so many levels. The way he cares for his daughter, Kairi, is exemplary and beautiful! Lord knows we need more positive images of Black Fathers (pumps black fist in the air). Dave, we love you man, drop us a line!

Super mom, model, and super sweet, Veronika Obeng is this week’s Celebrity Crush!

We have to admit Veronika came on our radar rather late and courtesy of our spiritual mother and counselor, Iyanla Vanzant, on her hit show OWN’s Iyanla Fix My Life. There, she sought help to move past her recent divorce and the stuck feeling that consumed her thereafter. We watched as she bravely not only worked through her own insecurities and demons, but learned the familial pathology that brought her to that place. She alongside, former The Real Housewives of Potomac star, Charisse Jackson-Jordan, “did their homework” and seemed to be better for it.

Besides being open and brave to work through her issues, Veronika is just one extremely beautiful woman. The only things that matches her radiance is her poise. She could very well be a real life “Raquel Lancaster” (see VH-1’s Single Ladies). The thing that captivates us the most about her are her eyes. They are so alluring and outright tell you “Yes, you want me.”

Veronika may have her claim to fame from Second Wives Club, but is her life and the legacy she has through her four little ones that will immortalize her. We love you V, if you are ever in Atlanta drop us a line!

#CelebrityCrush-Henry Golding (@henrygolding)

Summer 2018 is almost done, but that does not mean the fun has to stop, especially when it comes to new films. One of the films ushering in the close of summer is none other than Crazy Rich Asians! Based on Kevin Kwan’s best-selling novel of the same name; the film focuses on the ultra-rich Chinese families of Singapore. They literally have it all! The heartthrob of the film, “Nick Young,” is being portrayed by none other than Henry Golding, one of the cutest male specimens we have seen on the silver screen! Henry is cool, cavalier, extremely handsome, and this week’s Celebrity Crush!

The heartthrob of the film, “Nick Young,” is being portrayed by none other than Henry Golding, one of the cutest male specimens we have seen on the silver screen! Henry is cool, cavalier, extremely handsome, and this week’s Celebrity Crush!

We have to admit we did not know much about Henry prior to Crazy Rich Asiansand we feel absolutely foolish for it! How can someone this hot and talented not have been on our radar. We digress. However, this film is his big break into Hollywood and propels him to becoming a leading man–a rare feat for an Asian actor.

We had the opportunity to see Crazy Rich Asiansa couple of weeks ago and we have to tell you it definitely earned that 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes! This film had it all–family, drama, comedy, and border lined on fantasy with its exotic scenes. As aforementioned Henry portrayed Nick Young, who just so happens to be a multi-millionaire and heir to one of the richest Chinese families in Singapore.

His girlfriend, Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) is unaware. Her life changes when she goes to meet his family and friends during a wedding. She soon learns what it means to be an outsider in their culture, and Nick must choose between the woman he loves and his family.

Henry is nothing short of suave and debonair as Nick and really pulls off the “Prince Charming” archetype the film set him in. He and Constance have amazing chemistry and you’ll find yourself rooting for their love the entire time!

We have to see we love Henry! He has the face of an angel, with chiseled features to die for. Then that body of his gives us WORK. Whoever claims Asian men are not sexy clearly has not seen this beautiful specimen. You all just be sure to catch him AND his beach body this Wednesday as Crazy Rich Asians hits theaters nationwide!
